They come around at the same time every year, so don’t let any of your friends’ birthdays catch you off-guard. With our selection of free online birthday cards for grown-ups and kids alike, you can celebrate your friend with ease (and they don’t need to see the receipt). Equip yourself with a birthday card that’s perfect for your honoree and use our online design tools to wrap up every last detail with a digital bow. Schedule it in advance to avoid any social miscues (or send one of our belated birthday cards if you partied a little too hard in advance of the day). If you’re the one receiving birthday greetings, the best way to ensure you’ll receive them again is with a well-timed thank you card.

The holidays tend to give you a bit of advance warning, too, so you’ll have plenty of time to browse our cards for every red-letter day on the calendar. Send out a little winter cheer with happy holiday cards for the twelve days of Christmas, seven nights of Hanukkah, or one and only New Year’s Day. As the weather warms up (even just a little), there are still plenty of ways to show you care—send a Valentine’s Day love letter to your beau, a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day card to your parental units, or a card filled with illustrated Halloween candy to your fellow party monsters. (You can save the “spirits” for your party.)

Sometimes your message is bigger or more immediate than any old holiday. Let our greeting cards and announcements offer you stylish starts to your most important messages. If you’re celebrating new love, new family members, or new property, spread the news with a photo announcement to show off your good fortune. We won’t put words in your mouth, but a good luck, congratulations, or just-because card never fails to delight its reader—and you can even wow the traditionalists with flat-printed paper keepsakes. With designs from noted stationers like Mr. Boddington’s Studio, Rifle Paper Co. and design experts like kate spade new york and Oscar de la Renta, you’re sure to find the ideal medium for your good wishes.
